Greensburg Revisited After Three Years

The USGBC-STL will host a retrospective of Greensburg, KS, the town that was rebuilt green three years ago from the ground up after being devastated by a a tornado. Daniel Wallach, executive director and founder of Greensburg GreenTown will be the speaker. 

Wallach will give an overview and update on the progress in Greensburg, Kansas in the quest to make it "America's model green community" just three years after an EF-5 tornado destroyed over 90% of the town. Wallach will discuss what motivated people to take significant action towards achievement of a very ambitious collective vision,  successes realized, the areas where success has eluded the community thus far, and the community's hopes and dreams for the future.

The presentation will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 June 15 at the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts, Washington University. Registration and networking will take place from 5:30 p.m.  to 6:15 p.m., followed by the presentation. The event is free for USGBC members and students and $20 for non-members.
